Tuesday morning I was in no rush, I decided to walk so I started at 0600, still dark but had a head lamp...walked for 90 minutes..came in cleaned up an by 0830 was on the road, heading West on US 90...Weather was good and the traffic was light. My destination for the day is Seminole Canyon State Park...I have come to love the place...usually no one else there...though in recent years out of State folks have found the place in greater numbers. I take the blame for having mentioned it back in 2009/10.. :)).

The drive was smooth and uneventful...got to the Canyon about 130pm...got on top of the Hill, but this place is a zoo...about 80 % or more to capacity..usually up on the hill during the week I am the only camper here...sometimes one more...today there are only 3 spots left and all but 2 are 35-45 ft rigs...I ask the Ranger whats going on and he said its been like this since Christmas...Boy I can only imagine whats awaits me in Big Bend....Oh well, I will enjoy!!!
Going to add water to the fresh water tank while here..I also have 10 full one gallon jugs, so I think that should last for the duration.
This evenings menu is grilled salmon, cole slaw(I made), spinach salad and some french bread...and a glass of wine...
This will be short as I'm not sure I have enough internet capability to upload this...I don;t have any cell coverage...I will try to send one photo...take care...Happy Trails,,,Horst sends
Seems more and more of our favorite places are seeing an increase in use. As you said, I guess we're partly to blame. Blog about something or someplace and others want to go see. I'll bet you can find an out of the way camp in BB. Looking forward to traveling along with you, if only on the web....jc
ReplyDeleteIf Big Bend is filled up I think it would be time to roll up the tent and find another hobby.. :))
DeleteFunny that you mentioned "traveling with you" I was thinking as I was heading West on 90 how great it would be to run into You...but one of these days we'll share a camp fire, flatiron steak, and of course a Moose Drool..Take care my Friend...Horst sends
So glad you got out so smoothly. I think you are right, the more we put a place out there the more folks that want to see it. We are looking forward to reading about your trip and adventures. I hope you have a grand time being oh and enjoy BB.
ReplyDeleteTake care and hope one day our paths will cross.

It seems more folks then ever are taking up this lifestyle, plus the increase in foreign visitors(rv'ers) and I'm not sure the parks have an infrastructure to sustain that level of increase.
DeleteI was thinking about you Guys when I was going to my site...saw an Oliver and thought maybe it was you, but knew you weren't in the area...I think it might have been Pete...but didn't see any sign of folks around..Yes it would be nice to meet up with you Two and enjoy an evening or more...Take care Horst sends
Sounds like the trip is off to a great start! We are heading east in the morning but Big bend is not on the list. But maybe our paths will cross.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been great if you guys could have made it down here...one of these days. This place has taken off..crowded but I managed to find a super boondocking site...I am all smiles..safe travels back East...Horst sends
